The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Herbal Give Care LLC is voluntarily recalling all lots of Esbelin siloutte te and Esbelin siloutte Herbal Blend with L-Carnitine (30 Capsules), to the consumer level. The products have been found to contain undeclared Sibutramine, N-Desmethylsibutramine, and N-di-Desmethylsibutramine. These products may pose a threat to consumers because sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or stroke. To date, Herbal Give Care LLC has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
